Sql Server 2005 Queries Start Timing Out Because Sa Is Acquriing And Releasing Locks
Oct 23, 2007
I have a co-worker whose sql server 2005 is exhibiting strange behavior. We have already re-installed sql server 2005 and service packed it to SP2 to try and see if the behavior stops but it has not.
Every so often during the day sql server 2005 will start to slow down to the point that my co-worker's queries begin to time out. He turned on profiler to look at what was going on behind the scenes.
We see where sa is releasing and acquring locks to the tune of 180,000 rows in a fifteen minute span when this behavior starts so does his time outs. He has reporting options and analysis services installed but not configured. His only connection is to his local database. Occasionally, you see a number like - (03000d8f0ecc) appear in the Text Data column in profiler for sa. I read something about reporting options using sa for clean up but I don't think that is what is happening here.
Does someone have a clue as to what is happening and a way we can prevent the behavior? It is affecting his ability to work on his application.
I am using a sql server 2000 database to log the results from a monitorthat I have running - essentially every minuite, the table describedbelow has a insert and delete statements similar to the ones below runagaint it.Everything is fine for a few weeks, and then without fail, all accessesto the table start slowing down, to the point where even trying toselect all rows starts timing out.At that point, the only way to make things right that I have found, isto delete the table and recreate it.Am I doing something specific that sql server really doesn't like? Isthere a better solution then deleting and recreating the table?CREATE TABLE [www2] ([ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[stamp] [datetime] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_www2_stamp] DEFAULT (getdate()),[success] [bit] NULL ,[report] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[level] [int] NULL ,[iistrace] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GOINSERT INTO [www2] ([Report],[Success],[Level],[iistrace],[Stamp])VALUES ('Error on: <ahref="http://www2.klickit.com/include/asp/system_test.asp">http://www2.klickit.com/include/asp/system_test.asp</a><br><br>The operation timedout<br><br>(Test Activated From: Lynx/2.8.2rel.1libwww-FM/2.14)',0,1,'',getDate())DELETE FROM [www2] WHERE (Stamp<getDate()-3) AND (Success=1) AND (ReportNot Like 'ResetThanks in advance,Simon Withers*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I've got an INSERT that's selecting data from a linked server and attempting to push 10 million rows into the blank table. More or less, it looks like this:
The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users. Ask the database administrator to check the lock and memory configuration for this instance, or to check for long-running transactions. There are no other active users. I ran it again and monitored the following DMO to watch the growth of locks for that spid:
SELECT request_session_id, COUNT (*) num_locks -- select * FROM sys.dm_tran_locks --where request_session_id = 77 GROUP BY request_session_id ORDER BY count (*) DESC
The number of locks started small and held for a while around 4-7 locks, but at about 5 minutes in the number of locks held by that spid grew dramatically to more than 8 million before finally erroring again with the same message. Researching, I can't figure out why it's not escalating from row locks to table locks at the appropriate threshold. The threshold in was set to 0 at first (Server Properties > Advanced > Parallelism > Locks). I set it to 5000, and it still didn't seem to work. Rewriting the INSERT to include a WITH (TABLOCK) allows it to finish successfully in testing. My problem is that it's coming out of an ETL with source code that I can't edit. I need to figure out how to force it to escalate to locking the entire table via table or server level settings.
A colleague suggested that installing service packs may take care of it (the client is running SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM)), but I haven't found anything online to support that theory.
I have an application wrote in Power Builder 11 and use OLEDB connection for SQL SERVER 2005 DB. it works excellent till multiple users access the application. 2 seconds passes and locks appears and blocks all the DB! I realy don't know what is the reason. In past I used SQL Native driver and it works well with the same application!!! (other reasons caused me to change the connection. not this). Does someone can help me????????
During a Wise Installation upgrade of our software, we are renaming a directory that contains our ExtendedSP DLL. We issue a DBCC TSWSQLXP(Free) call before doing the rename, yet SQL Server, still "holds on" to that DLL. We install a new version, and the ListDLLs utility (from sysinternals) lists the new DLL in the correct directory.
However, when trying to remove the renamed directory, it won't let us remove the old DLL because it says it is in use. We can delete the NEW DLL in the NEW directory with no problem.
I have run the DBCC call numerous times and SQL Server STILL won't release the DLL for deletion. The only way to delete the OLD DLL is to stop the SQL Server, delete the DLL, and then restart SQL Server. We do NOT want to do this because there may be other processes running in SQL Server.
I'm running into a problem where the class I'm running seems to eat up a lot of memory with sql server. When it's done running, the memory usage never goes down in taskmanager. I can't figure out where the memory leak might be. Here's the code that is being called. Does anyone see a reason why it would continue to eat memory as it runs and then not release it? Thanks. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient;
When I close a web form that has a connection to my SQL Server, I am not seeing the memory process close in task manager (of the SQL Server). I am using the "open late close early" theory of database connections. I am using the "close" method for my database connections. Is there any automated utility that will shut down these processes? I thought when the user was disconnected from the database, the memory process would automatically shut down.
We are migrating our database(s) from ORACLE to SQL. In Oracle we were able to issue a SELECT statement and see all of the locks (Blocking and Non-Blocking) currently in the system. The query also included the Process ID of the process we needed to kill in order to get rid of the lock.
We now need to create the same type of query for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. I have seen postings on different sites saying that this info can be obtained using SP_WHO2 or using the SQL Server Management Studio Activity Monitor's PROCESSES tab, but we are looking for a SELECT statement that will give us similar information.
Hi, I can't find an equivalent version of 2000's Service Manager with which to start the DB server. Management Studio is only showing my SQL Server 2000 databases. Cheers, WT.
Hi; I've been using SQL Server 2005 on vista and everything was fine until today. I cannot start the SQL Server service from the services list; it gives the error "Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer....., and refer to service-specific error code -2146885628.". I looked at the evet log; the first error message is "FallBack certificate initialization failed with error code 1." then an information message: "Unable to initialize SSL encryption because a valid certificate could not be found, and it is not possible to create a self-signed certificate.".
I've created many test certificates till now (to test WCF services security features) using makecert.exe and nothing went wrong; the last certificate I made was named "localhost"; so I thought there's a problem because of that; I deleted that certificate but still cannot start SQL Server. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I use SQL Server to provide data to asp web pages and have recently started to get ODBC time outs throughout the day.
The environment is as follows: Server with dual PII processors & 512MB RAM running: - SQL Server 7 - IIS
I have a number of asp based web sites hosted on this box, but only 1 of them seems to be affected by the time out problem. I have checked the resources on the server (NT Task Mgr - Memoey & Processor) and everything seems fine - in fact the resources are hardly being touched!!! Within a few minutes the problem disappears completely without me doing anything.
Am I missing something here? Should I look elsewhere other than SQL - maybe IIS ??? Any suggestions / pointers would be very much appreciated.

I can't get an instance of SQL Server 2005 to start using TCP/IP.
The issue is pretty basic: I have a local SQL Server 2005 that I can get to run and connect to it using Named Pipes.
The problem is that from a remote machine, although I can connect to it using Named Pipes, ASP.NET can't connect to it (when I'm in design mode, I can connect to the SQL server to configure Data Sources, but at run-time, it refuses to work).
So, I tried to switch to TCP/IP. I can't get it to work on the local machine. I get the following errors:
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x1.
I've looked up these errors, and most of them are basic "make sure protocols are enabled, make sure VIA is disabled, etc." but those aren't it.
I just installed SQl Server 2005 on my Windows XP Pro system. But I can't figure out how to start the Database Engine. In the MS SQL Server Management Studio I see one Database Engine, but not SQL Servers. If I do "Update Local Server Registration" nothing happens. If I do right-click "New Server Registration" I get a databse icon with a white open circle. If I the try "right-click, Connect, Object Explorer" I get "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server...". All this time the right Summary pane is showing "No Server Connection."
The tutorials are no help and do not function as they describe.
Sample databases install but do not show up in program list as they are supposed to.
How do I start up my SQL Server Database Engine with a new database?
I have a site that is experiencing the issue described in this doc. I'm unsure if the fix is going to blow anything up as I am unfamiliar with anything they are recommending.

I have installed SQL server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows 2003 virtual PC (full installation). The installation went through successfully. However, after install completed, I cannot find any of the client tools under the start menu -> all programs -> Microsoft SQL server 2005 menu. The only item listed under the SQL server 2005 is Configuration Tools, which is used to configure the database server.
I have tried to install the client component again (in case I didn't install them at the first place) but the installation process cannot be started since it detected that the client components have been installed already. I can also see the sql server native client running in the services.
The server engine is working fine since I can connect to that sql server using another machine where I have the client tool (SQL server management studio).
One of my friends has exactly the same problem. He installed the sql server 2005 Standard edition on windows 2003 server (full installation), but the client tools are not showing up in the start menu either.
I also checked the location for the SQL server management studio (Microsoft SQL server/90/Tools/Binn/VSShell/Common7/IDE), there is only one folder called publicAssemblies listed under. Is this correct or something is missing?
I need to pull data using input from one table in sql server 2005. I have to query against the sql server 2000 database and pull data into sql server 2005. I have a list of ids that I have to pass to a query to get the desired data. What is the best practice for this. Can I use SSIS or do I need to build an app in C#? Can somebody please reply back?

I am new to SQL server. I just installed SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition .
I have not more experience in SQL but I need some tutorial about how to use SQL Server 2005 and create tables and make queries and relate tables . I can't find any exact location in Microsoft website about SQL Server enterprise edition and documentation where i can find beginner's resources. which feature we use for creating the tables and other features for making the database.

Ran the SP2 locally on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 box that had SQL Server 2005 SP1 install on it. Problem was I ran out of C: drive and it failed in the middle of upgrading the server.
I'm unable to start the SQL Server at all now. Is there any way to back this out? Don't think I can reapply any patches since the service is dead.
Eventlog now shows: One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
The log shows it's unable to start SQL (blames it on permisions but it's because SQL can no longer start)

I'm guessing its reinstall time but not sure how the attached databases will like that idea.

I faced the problem trying to adjust ssl encryption in ms sql server 2005. I've completed all steps from this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191192.aspx
But when I'm trying to restart sql server - it fails to start.
Here the error messages I got:
1. Unable to load user-specified certificate. The server will not accept a connection. You should verify that the certificate is correctly installed. See "Configuring Certificate for Use by SSL" in Books Online.

SQL Server is installed on Windows 2003 Server OS running computer.
I use certificate created by means stand-alone Certificate Authority that appeared in Administration Tools on that computer after I installed Certificate Services.
I guess the reason is in wrong certificate parameters I set while requesting.
How can I determine correct certificate parameters? Does anyone know?

If applicable, what's the limit on concurrent queries supported by SQL Server 2005 Express? Also, if there's a limit, does next connection after the max errors out or merely queues up?
